FACTS AND HEARSAYS.

The House Appropriations Committee
has agreed to appropriate $32 800 for
lighting the Bartholdi statue.
The Senate Commerce Committee has
completed the river and harbor appropri-
alton bill, and has increased the item for
the Potomac flats improvement to $780,
600.
The committee has not yet taken a vote
on the vetoed dependent pension bill, but
they have discussed it informally and eX-
pect TO report it back to the House on
Saturday, with the recommendation that
it pass over the veto 1t is not believed,
however, that the House will override the
veto.
Acting-Secretary Fairchild has in
formed the Collector of Customs at Nor
folk that Sundays and holidays are not
to be included in the four days time al
lowed for the filing of Supplemental
manifests" in cases of shipments of to-
baccO or other merchandise.
The Senate Finance Committee has
virtually decided to bring some PROPOSE
ton for revenue revision before the Senate
as an amendment to some one Of the
House bills pending before the commit
tee. Senators Sherman and Morrill, are
leading the movement.
Caucuses were held both by the Repub'
lican and Democratic Senators yesterday,
to consider the order of business. Each
adopted a programme and these were ex-
changed, but neither party was willing to
accept the proposition of the other, and
Messrs. Sherman and Harris were author
lied to confer and agree upon some order
and make the same public.
The knowing ones are still busy in pre-
pairing new Cabinet slate, although it
now seems generally conceded that the
change in the Treasury portfolio is the
only one to be made Assistant Secretary
Fairchld remains as the first choice still,
particularly as he is known to have Mr..
Manning's influence in his behalf Mr..
George II. Pendleton is named by some,
but Mr.. J. c. Carlisle is the latest addi-
ton to the list of likely ones. He is re-
garded as a dangerous dark horse.

Chicago's Doodle Commissioner.

CHICAGO, February 16.-A morning
paper quotes States Attorney Grinnell as
saying: 81 have enough evidence in hand
to send every Doodle county commissioner
to the penitentiary. If ! can procure
fair and impartial jury to try them, and
if they stand up like men and defend
themselves squarely and honestly on the
merits of their cases" 1t is now con-
ceded that several Of the county con-
tractors have "squealed," and that indict-
ments will probably be drawn against
some of the members of the late Cook
county board for corruption.

From her conversation it appears that she
cherishes the same sentiments as her father

people as martyrs. That she should imbibe
such sentiments is no more than natural.
Ever since the war she has been at her
fathers side, his chief support and consola-

his views of life, and fashioned her in the
mold of the ante-bellum southern lady. Her
